The first step to early mobilization,

patient satisfaction and caregiver
safety.
Human Cares Convertible Chairs are an effective and safe early mobilization device
that enable the lateral transfer of a patient in a supine position. Caregivers can use
existing SPH transfer techniques or the patented, No-Lift Patient Transfer System. The
Chairs portability allows for usage in multiple rooms and its safe and easy application
builds confidence in both the patient and their family members to drive compliance.

Clinical benefits for the patient with
the Human Care Convertible Chair
Faster recovery
The ability to get the patient out of bed faster can
reduce the length of stay in both higher acuity
departments and the overall length of stay in the
hospital.
Safe and effective transport
Transferring a patient in a Convertible Chair will
facilitate transfer of patents to allow transport to
physical therapy and/or other ancillary services.
Patient satisfaction
Not every patient can be lifted. Some patients have
pressure ulcers, pain or are afraid to be lifted. The
Convertible Chair is a non-lifting alternative that will
create the best transfer possible for these patient
groups.
Benefits for the caregiver with the
Human Care Convertible Chair
Simplifies job conditions
The Convertible Chair makes your job easier by
enhancing the quality of care provided and reducing
recovery time. It improves the patient experience
and confidenceto the patient and family members to

can easily be repositioned by simply using all the
unlimited number of tilting options.

driving force for SPH initiatives
Utilization of the Convertible Chair protects the
caregiver from injury and helps drive SPH initiatives.

Patient Transfer System
easy transfer performed by
one single caregiver
The duties to caregivers as well as the risk of musculoskeletal injuries have progressively increased as a
result of the constant demand of moving and repositioning patients regardless of their size and/or weight.

By using our PTS system (Patient Transfer System) unnecessary lifting and risk of injury to caregivers
is minimized. Our Patient Transfer System (PTS) works together with our convertible chairs to offer a
multitude of positioning capabilities within a single product.

Designed to allow a single caregiver to easily and safely transport and reposition a patient, our chairs can
perform the functions of a stretcher, mobile chair, and custom seating.
